A handicraft and handloom seller offers one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces, from sarees and textiles to decor and art, where each item has a story and a maker. Buyers want to see the piece before they commit. WhatsApp, on the official WhatsApp Business API, handles showcasing, orders and shipping. Here is how.
Where WhatsApp helps a handicraft business
The work is visual, story-led and often made to order.
- Showcase: share photos, videos and the maker's story.
- Orders: confirm size, colour and customisation.
- Payments: agree advance and balance clearly.
- Shipping: share dispatch and tracking.
Showcase handmade pieces that sell
Craft buyers fall in love with the piece and the story behind it. Sharing photos, short videos and a catalog in chat, with a prompt reply, converts the interest, as our response-time guide shows, far better than a static listing.
Manage custom orders
Handmade orders involve size, colour and customisation. A shared inbox keeps artisans and sales on one thread, and keeping each order's details in a CRM prevents mistakes on bespoke work.
Build a loyal buyer base
Craft buyers love new arrivals and collections. Collecting opt-in and sending relevant broadcasts, like new drops or festive collections, keeps buyers engaged while protecting your number quality.
